(student) housing
Some tips & tricks on how to faciliate and improve your hunt for a room, flat or house in and around Aachen:
- RWTH Information on housing in and around Aachen – useful also independently from university
- Information on (student) housing or flatshares and a housing guide for internationals by AISA initiative
- General information on moving to Germany and possibly living and working across borders (German and Dutch only)
- Information on housing Aachen by Extraraum
Background on WG’s, “Wohngemeinschaften” and yet so much more than just shared appartments:
- The German concept of a WG is a specific one. Since the famous social movements in the 1968´s, these Wohngemeinschaften celebrate great popularity – among students, but also young professionals and increasingly among older people.
- Joining a Wohngemeinschaft that is not a “Zweck-WG” means entering a community, where sharing yourself is an expectation. That is why:
- When looking for a WG you have to convince your new housemates that you will be a good part of their community – just formally mentioning your interest is usually not a sufficient first step!
- The concept of “Zwischenmiete” means “rent-in-between” and can help you settle first to then find a flat for the longterm
- The most common portals are the following:
- wg-gesucht (for flatshares and flats, mostly by private people, also for “Zwischenmiete”)
- immoscout24.de (mostly commercial salesmen)
- immowelt.de (mostly commercial salesmen)
- meinestadt.de
- possible local options
Starting your social life
The universities, cities, and button-up initiatives provide own initiatives to find buddies in and around Aachen.
- Note that you might find more information in German, even though programs are open to non-German speakers. This is e.g. for the organisations in Lotsenkreis Aachen
- Overviews on buddy programmes (for all those affiliated with Fachhochschule and RWTH)
- RWTH University Aachen gives a great summary of the benefits
buddy programmes, about buddying and being buddied (2:49). - Start with a friend is a button-up initiative, English speaking yet only providing a German website. Starting from connecting refugees with locals, it is now open to all kinds of newcomers.
Associations in and around Aachen
Germans love their „Vereinsleben“, which means they form ssociations for all their sports and hobbies you can think of.
Insert e.g. “Aachen” and “Aikido” and start your radius search in the whole federal state of Northrhine Westphalia with vereinssuche-nrw.de (DE only).
If you have a special need or interest in sports with a special (dis-)ability, find info on the sports of Behindertensportbund Aachen (DE only) and on our dedicated section.
Public transport
Note that you can go to nearby Kelmis (B) and Vaals (NL) using the very same ticket as within the city. No need for any extra fees.
If you are a student from Aachen, you can use your “Semesterticket” to go anywhere in the federal state of North rhine-Westphalia – and even go all the way to Maastricht for free, by train RE18 or the Dutch bus lines 350 and 44, with connections every 15 minutes.
Public transport in the Aachen area
Within Aachen and the neighboring areas of Düren and Heinsberg tickets and subscriptions within the AVV tariff are available for purchase in buses (cash only), via ASEAG and Deutsche Bahn customer centers close to the main Busstation and in the main trainstation – and via mobile apps.
For short journeys within the city the Flux-Ticket (up to 4 stops) can be used and within the city center of Aachen the City XL ticket (German only) is an alternative for short distances. For longer journeys within the city or to the neighboring cities of Kelmis (B) and Vaals (NL) a regular Ticket (Preisstufe 1) must be purchased and will cost you 2,80€.
To enter buses all doors can be used and tickets do not need to be shown to the driver.
Plan ahead for long distances and save money
When going the longer distance, note that the German train carrier at bahn.de offers large discounts for early pre-reservation; a last-minute connection at cheap prices is usually much more costly. Long-distance coaches such as Flixbus offer a usually cheaper yet less comfortable alternative, yet the national connections from Aachen are limited.
Five is cheaper than two
Within Northrhine-Westphalia group tickets are a bargain. It can be cheaper to buy a day ticket for five people (Minigruppen-Ticket, SchönerTagTicket) rather than paying Aachen-Cologne for two (or even one), even more so in off-peak hours and on weekends.
Within Germany ticketing is mostly organized within smaller areas that are called “Verkehrsverbund” and usually include several regional areas and offer various ticketing and subscription options for all public transport connections within their area:
- AVV (Aachener Verkehrsverbund, German only) includes the areas of Aachen, Düren and Heinsberg.
- VRS (Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg, German only) includes the Region of Cologne, Bonn and the administrative area of Euskirchen.
- VRR (Verkehrsverbund Rhein Ruhr) includes the area of Düsseldorf and most of the cities within “Ruhrgebiet” – and up to Dutch cities like Venlo, Nijmegen and Arnhem.
Unlike in Belgium or the Netherlands, regional tickets include both busses and regional trains and a zone-based tariff is used. For traveling within the federal state of North-Rhine- Westphalia flatrate tickets like the SchönerTagTicket NRW are available, as well as tickets for single journeys (NRW Tarif). Both are also available for purchase via the DB Navigator App.
Personal consultations for flatrates
For monthly flatrates and abos within Aachen Region (German only, personal info at ASEAG Kundencenter, close to Bushof).
For support in English, Aachen Main station might be a better option. Companies in the AVV area often offer a subsidised “Job-Ticket” for their employees that is much cheaper than usual subscriptions so it might be worth asking if you can buy the ticket from your employer.
Here you can find an interactive map of the AVV area, mainly showing the bus lines in and around Aachen. If you are looking for regional train connections within North-Rhine Westphalia, have a look at the digital NRW Regionalverkehrsplan. Below, find the main public transport in Aachen and the Euregio Meuse-Rhine, including cross-border connections.
Language Learning

when just starting out, grammar is not crucial. German also shares a lot
of vocabulary with English – you can easily compare vocabulary by
checking out the German version of our website.
Advanced: Don´t worry about making mistakes, and don’t get too caught up on articles. If
you still have a hard time with native speakers, Dutch or Belgian
neighbours from just about the border can relate to your struggles. Many
people speak quite fluent German, althouhg less among the younger
generation.

Local language & dialects
The Aachen region and the German-speaking Community in Belgium historically share the same language and dialects.
People around “Ooche” (=Aachen) / Aken / Aix la-Chapelle are notoriously famous for “singing” while speaking – even among other Rhinelanders, that others find to “sing” when talking.
Standard language is the clear norm among young academics, except for having hard times with distinguishing between hissing sounds such as “ch” or “sch”. Dialect has its high time, however, during carnival, with multiple songs in “Kölsch” or “Öcher Platt” forming part of regional heritage and identity.

Rhenish mentality
Aachen, Ooche, Aix la-Chapelle, Aken, Aquisgranum: Here are some hints on how the “Rhinelanders” live in this westernmost area of Germany.
Typical Germany
Find some video impressions on how you might experience typical life in Germany (especially when coming from countries more east or south).
Not quite typical Germans
Here is a crucial note: Within Germany, and especially in how they think about themselves, the “Rhineland” and its people have a reputation for being easy going, tolerant, spontaneous, glowingly and even “loud”. That is why people living in Charlemagne´s former capital might not recognize themselves in the strict and humorless Prussian that adheres to every rule cold-heartedly.
Best place to make friends (but still difficult)
In fact, “Internations” network ranked Aachen No. 1 of all German expat cities in 2019. With Rhinelandic Cologne as Second, Aachen is the best place in Germany to make friends (but even here,only few find making friends an easy thing).
Rhenish Mentality
In order to understand the “Rhenish” Mentality, the so called constitution, the “Rheinisches (or Kölsches) Grundgesetz is a good starting point to understand the savoir-vivre in this area, mostly applicable for private life.
Sing along
In the end, maybe people in the Rhineland are still quite German – but they do make an effort to distinguish themselves. Actually, (older) Aachen-natives are famous for singing while speaking – even among other Rhinelanders that are – in reverse – famous for their singing in all other parts of Germany …
